Add additional text under section headings in templates in new UI
In the classic UI we created a bilingual template that included guidance notes for both instructors and students under each section heading. We would like the option to be able to create this template in the new UI, but we can only create section headings.

More file type options for Reading List bulk export
At the moment it's possible to bulk export Reading Lists by running the job called 'Reading List Bulk Update' and selecting 'Export to PDF'.
Would be beneficial if we can export to other types such as .lgn or .ris. As those files would serve better as 'baclups' and can also be imported back into Leganto

When creating a new list, provide sort options for numbered templates
Some instructors want to create lists that show the most recent content first, so that their students can easily access the current week’s resources. For example, in a 12-week semester, they divide the list into sections by week and list them in reverse order (i.e. Week 12, Week 11, Week 10, etc.). They release each section at the start of the corresponding week, so that students can focus on the relevant content.
However, currently there is no easy way to create such a list using a numbered template. The default order for the numbered template is ascending (i.e. Week 1,…

Support search fields in the Leganto Primo Mapping table
In the Leganto Primo Mapping table, PNX search fields are currently not supported (besides search/creationdate). We have the following use case that requires the support of search fields: we want to display thumbnails in Leganto for citations from our many external data sources in Primo VE. To achieve this, we had to map the url of the thumbnail to a Leganto field. Of course, we do not want to display the url in the Primo UI, and we have no free display field that we could use for this purpose.
In addition, it would be also great if local fields…11 votes -
Usability of Favorites especially in LTI view - Suggest from right panel
Using the LTI view the left menu (Lists and Favorites) is invisible which confines the view to the context of the LMS site the user is in. I can see why we would want to do that. However, it has the effect of making it virtually impossible for educator or student to be able to use their favorites.
Scenario: Educator adds a citation to their list in the LTI view, then decides it is so good they want to add it to their other lists. They copy it to their favorites.... then what! (They could just copy to other lists,…

Filter to mirror Primo VE Availability facet
When a user searches via Primo VE they have the option to filter using a facet title Availability, which contains values such as "Held By Library" and "Available Online"
We would like to suggest Leganto receives similar functionality using the filter option which currently lets a user narrow down based on Section, Tag, Type and Other.
This would allow uses to easily and quickly narrow the citations on a reading list to those available online, without the need for the library to tag each citation.

In Analytics (Leganto Student Usage subject area), possibility to query Statistical Category X fields under Student Details
(initially filled by the « Statistical Category X » fields from the Users subject area).
Right now, to get data about the usage of a reading list by students, we need to query the fields which are only available under the dimension « Student details » of the « Leganto student usage » subject area. Those fields are filled only after signing the Ex-Libris form « Leganto student success measurements service ».
It would be interesting that the statistical category fields only could be filled in order to extract statistical analyses without having to know the students identity. Therefore it…5 votes -
Zotero/Mendeley import: display position in list
In the results list of “Search the library”, the current position in the list is indicated, e.g. “Showing 20 out of 311,444 results”. In the results list of “Import references from Mendeley” and “Import references from Zotero, however, this information is not displayed. We would appreciate if the position would be indicated in these lists, too. Relevant Support Case: 07013368

Broken link/problem files resolution inside NUI
I see there is consultation arising from NERS results about the broken link report emails (to library, an alert that a report has been made and to users, a resolution notice).
It made me think there is an opportunity in the new UI to streamline the link/file fixing process.
- When a library team member is signed in to Leganto could broken links/problem file reports be indicated in the notifications area to identify affected lists - not just the assigned librarian, but any library team member with course reserves roles?
- Could an affected citation have a indicator appear to identify which…

File Upload box on Quick Start - New UI
Our instructors access from the LMS, and upon Quick Start, we only allow the options to Create from scratch or Upload a file (not to rollover). A large proportion of our instructors avail themselves of the Upload a file option.
We think the Upload a file or "Ask your library to create your list" option is greatly minimized in the New UI as compared to Classic UI, and that it would be nice for this option to have a box with an icon and button the same way the the "Create" and "Create from Existing" options currently do. We think…

Make subjects usable
Currently the only way to assign a subject to a list is in the Leganto interface.
The function to assign subjects should be added to:
1. Alma when working on an individual list
2. Alma - bulk assign a subject from the reading list task list - select reading lists then 'manage selected' then choose from the list of defined subjects
3. Reading List bulk update job
4. Instructor rollover operations - copy to be supported
5. Course loader rollover - On rollover copy subjectThis would enable librarians to help with assigning disciplines/study areas to lists, and not leave…

Confirmation screen when adding citation to Leganto from Primo
When adding a catalog citation to Leganto from the Primo interface (via the "Send To..." menu) there is a small popup (screenshot attached) that asks the user to choose a list, section, etc. and then click the green "Add to Leganto" button, which is great. Once this button is clicked, the page reloads and the user receives no confirmation, other than to open a new tab, navigate to the relevant list, and verify that the citation appeared in the right place. Instead, once the user clicks "Add to Leganto," would it be possible to have a similarly sized pop up…

Usability of Favorites in LTI view - How to access them
Using the LTI view (Blackboard Ultra site) the left menu (Lists and Favorites) is invisible which confines the view to the context of the LMS site the user is in. I can see why we would want to do that. However, it has the effect of making it virtually impossible for educator or student to be able to use their favorites.
Scenario: Educator adds a citation to their list in the LTI view, then decides it is so good they want to add it to their other lists. They copy it to their favorites.... then what! (They could just copy…

Improve handling of expired user accounts for course owners during rollovers
For rollovers we copy the collaborators from the original list and usually this is OK, however we then start getting bounce back emails for Leganto notifications being sent to email addresses that are no longer active.
A couple of options that would be helpful...
1. Provide option in the integration parameters to prevent an expired collaborator being copied on rollover
2. Job report to provide a warning that a course owner/collaborator has an expired user account19 votes -
Upload one file per page range allowed
Some material types like book chapter or book extracts, allow to have two page ranges.
However, it is only possible to upload one file.The page range data from the citation is used in our copyright platform integration, and PDF files are created based on this data, that is, one per page range. Having to merge the files before uploading them is unnecessary extra work so we would like to be able to upload several files per citation (1 per page range).

Shareable link function in the Leganto file viewer
In the Leganto PDF viewer there is no option to create a shareable link to the citation.
Problem: The educator or another student wants to share a link direct to the viewer (e.g. Hi students, add your comments on this file), they can only get the URL from the browser address bar. This URL does not support SAML authentication. They do not understand the implications of doing this, and will not go back to the other tab to get a shareable link - indeed they may have closed the other tab.
- User may end up at the Leganto authentication page…

Add Electronic Collection data to Course Reserves Analytics
In Alma Analytics, accessing information about Leganto citations is best managed via the Course Reserves area. However, the Course Reserve reports available seem set up for physical items. For example, we do not have the option to pull Electronic Collection data from Alma Analytics for citations. The limitation is especially true for CDI resources, where you cannot even obtain an MMS ID.
When vendors pull ebooks or other cited materials from their selection, it’s important that the library is able to identify affected resources quickly. This allows the library to proactively manage the citation, locating the materials elsewhere or work…

Rollover - Allow Excel files to be directly uploaded to course loader integrated profile
Currently we have to create a spreadsheet for a course rollover, then re-format it into text tab delimited file and then add it to a FTP server before it can be run in the course loader integrated process. This is a long winded process where errors can creep in.
It would be an improvement if you could upload the file directly in the Course loader integrated profile as a file upload. It would also be better if this upload could be an Excel spreadsheet rather than a text tab delimited file

Remove the fields "Required Chapters" and "Total Chapters Count" from the Copyright Attributes page when Book Extract is the citation materi
Our Copyright Officer has informed the library to make a change in how we label our representations and to use Book Extract as the citation material type if only a few pages of a chapter are being used. This is a change for the library as we previously used Book Chapter and labelled the representation to indicate that only a part of the chapter has been used - example: Scan of chapter 3 [in part], p. 26-35: Moral constraints and the state.
This is to ensure that the two fields are not accidently used by Library staff.
